Principal's Weekly Letter

May 12th, 2025


Once again, I was out of the office on Friday and my Friday letter has turned into a beginning of the week letter.  I pray you had a safe and relaxing weekend.  


Teachers gathered this morning for devotions and we were all very grateful for the kindness, love, and generosity shown last week during teacher appreciation week!  The outpouring of delicious treats, gifts, and gift cards was truly amazing.  On behalf of the entire staff, I just want to say thank you.  


The year is winding down but we still have quite a few major events coming up….
